I've heard it's very nice. So I say keep.

Why don't you try it in a shop and see if you like it?

It's nice. I was torn between that and flowerbomb and ended up getting flowerbomb for Xmas.

Keep, but don't overdo it as a little goes a loooong way.

I love it. It's quite 'different' but very nice. I tried some in a shop and wasn't overly keen at first, then kept getting little whiffs of it all afternoon and it grew on me and now it's my favourite perfume!

I like the smell of it but I know it can be a bit overpowering to some.

I like it, but I'd strongly recommend putting it on the night before to let it evaporate a little before going out among people...

He also bought me pure by rihanna, but i just don't fancy having a celeb perfume, seems weird Smile

I used to love it until someone I know bought it and proceeded to liberally douse herself with it. Cloying didn't even come close.
It's lovely but in very small amounts.

It's lovely, strong but different. Would buy it again.

I have it - utterly gorgeous. It's a great evening perfume and different to the ubiquitous Chanel Coco Mademoiselle. Strong though!

I bought Nude by Rhianna and it smells lovely, a real daytime fragrance. Some celeb perfumes are actually pretty good!

I like Alien but doesn't last on me at all! Not like Angel used to (needed a brillo pad to scrub that one off!)

Agree some of the celeb perfumes are surprisingly nice although haven't tried that one admittedly.

Return if you're not 100% convinced though.. there are too many gorgeous perfumes out there to own any you aren't sure about!

I think its my angel memories putting me off, i did love it when it first came out though. Funny how tastes change.
